"Smile"

Music by Charles Chaplin, 1936
Lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons, 1954
(Sung by Felix)

Smile, though your heart is aching,
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky,
You'll get by
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile.

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile
